Blackwater Taxidermy

Things are starting to get busy in the shop.

Please remember that a quality mount starts with proper care of your trophy. Whether it’s a deer or bear; getting the hide off and keeping it clean and cold is the way to go. Don’t leave them in a cooler any longer than you have to …they will spoil.

Deer capes and bear hides should be frozen or brought to your taxidermist ASAP. Smaller game such as bobcats, fox or coyote should be frozen whole - Do not gut them.

If you are not sure how to skin whatever you have , then make an appointment and we’ll take care of that part too. Good luck to all.

Thanks for all the people who have brought their trophies to me this year. In order to get all those completed in a timely fashion I won’t be accepting any more new customers for the 2024 season.

Everyone, In order to have more free time for myself and my family ,this season I will only be taking a limited number of deer mounts . Also I won’t be doing any lifesize or half mounts of any type. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and I appreciate the business you all have given me over the years .

Got this one finished up today. Probably one of the biggest most even racks you'll ever see. Main frame 12 with matching kickers off the back.

Cory's 2016 bear rug that we just finished. Good thing my wife has skills on the sewing machine. She made the quilted backing. It turned out really nice and is one of a kind.
